This is the best movie related news I have read since, well, the last time Terrence Malick started making a new movie. Heath Ledger and Sean Penn are in talks to star in Malick's drama Tree of Life. Ledger would play the lead role, opposite a yet-to-be-cast female lead, and Penn would take a supporting role. Malick is also still negotiating a deal. I remember reading about this a few years ago when Colin Farrell was in talks to star, but always thought the movie was just a rumor.

If there was ever a title to perfectly sum up a Malick film, it would be Tree of Life. No director has ever quite enjoyed foliage as much as he does.
